Bush's fault

 

[grumpybob]

She was from Connecticut - We must take any objects that can possibly be used as a weapon away from everyone in the state. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[MidLifeCrisis]

I stand corrected. Infiniti G37s should be banned. :roflblack:

Our local TV station is DC . . . for a couple hours, they kept showing a totaled police car, in the middle of the road, no other vehicle near it, and saying how it had collided with the woman's car . . . and they kept mentioning all the evidence placards the cops had put on the road around it as marking "bullets" . . . then a video surfaced of that police car, coming through the intersection at a high rate of speed, lights and sirens on, and a second or two before he got there, the bollards, under the road popped up and he hit them . . . the evidence placards marked where pieces of his car ended up . . . they also kept saying how the woman got out of her car and shot at the police . . . I love how our news media is so good at taking wild guesses and passing them off as fact . . . I wish they'd just say what they know to be factual, and then shut up!

I'll bet it was fully automatic.

What! How can this be true? I worked for a local news outfit for 4 years and we always reported the facts....honest. :roflblack:

impossible .... DC is a gun free zone don't ya know??? i thought those places were where the sheep (oops ... i mean people) could be safe :roflblack::roflblack:

the driver

they were just saying that the woman was in her late 30's and a dental hygienist and the reason it took so long to stop her is that police tend to not want to open fire on a woman, she did have a 18 month old in her back seat so something really had to snap to let this woman do what she did, it's a shame she had to die if she was just sick.

Yeah... I've got a G37 Convertible and that is what it was... except a coupe. She was certainly not poor and unable to afford insurance.

 

[Bob Denman]

I've been sort of trying to stay away from this topic...
Tragic as it is; she truly was the author of her own misfortune.
When you ram barricades and police vehicles in the city where our government is; what do you think is going to happen? :dontknow:
Now; if she was mentally ill... that makes it a tragedy for her family. Perhaps they should have been keeping a bit closer eye on her if they knew that something was amiss.
..just sayin'...

 

[Oldmanzues]

This is another"what is the whole story" incident. Did they have to shot her many times??? who knows, but with what was going, I probably would have.
As far as honest reporting, the media lost that a long time ago. The TV sounded like they looking for a wild man with assult rifle or a couple.
I think it was William Randolph Heast who said, "Do not let the facts get in the way of a good story". I think people called yellow reporting

They should be banned only if they have more than 6 gears, that is considered an assault transmission:clap:
